MaxCut vs Cut List Optimizer

Stop wasting material. MaxCut finds the best cutting plan so you get the most out of every MDF or plywood sheet — and every bar, profile, or tube — with less offcut and more savings. It's simple: enter the parts you need, choose your material, and MaxCut works out the ideal layout in seconds. You'll see how many sheets or bars you'll use, the yield as a percentage, and a parts list ready to take to the workshop. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Optimize sheet cuts (2D) — MDF, plywood, MDP and more, accounting for blade kerf and grain direction. • Optimize bar and linear cuts (1D) — profiles, tubes and trims, with minimal leftover. • See real efficiency — total sheets/bars used and the yield percentage for every plan. • Organize by project — group plans by job or client and pick up right where you left off. • Build your material catalog — save the sheets and bars you use most, with their sizes. • Visual cutting maps — a clear diagram showing where each part goes. WHO IT'S FOR Woodworkers, cabinetmakers, metalworkers, makers, and anyone who cuts sheet or linear material and wants to save time and money. 100% FREE.

SawKit works out how to cut your parts from full sheets of plywood, MDF or melamine with the least waste — and then tells you the order to make the cuts in. Type your cut list the way you'd say it. 15 3/16. 3/4". 4' 6". Millimetres if that's your shop. SawKit reads all of it, and a unit written on a number always wins, so you can mix imported hardware into a metric project without doing sums. WHAT IT DOES • Works out the layout across as many sheets as it takes, and picks the best of twelve different packing strategies for your particular list. • Respects the grain. Say which way it runs on the sheet and on the part, and parts that must follow it are turned to match — never guessed from which number you typed first. • Accounts for the blade. Kerf and edge trim are part of the calculation, not an afterthought. • Gives you the cut order. Every pass runs edge to edge across the piece in your hands, numbered, so you can work through it at the saw. • Prints. A page per sheet plus a shopping list with prices and a total, in black and white that survives a workshop printer. • Runs on iPad, iPhone and Mac, side by side or one at a time. • Works with no signal at all. Workshops are usually the worst room in the building for that. FREE INCLUDES Everything above on screen: the whole calculation, the drawing, and the calculators.
